Figure 3From: Monte Carlo analysis of an ODE Model of the Sea Urchin Endomesoderm NetworkValidation of our Method. Schematic representation of the approach we use to evaluate the heuristic we propose. The topology of a given GRN is inferred from in-vivo data (red arrow). To judge this step, we propose our heuristic as described in text and Figure 2 (yellow arrow). The comparison of in-vivo data and detected TPEs yields some measure of matching effects (left light blue arrow). In order to evaluate this, we simulate in-silico data that perfectly matches an underlying topology (green arrow). Comparison between in-silico data and detected TPEs indicates the reliability of the heuristic (lower light blue arrow).Back to article page
